One of my favorite ways to start the day is with a short podcast called Optimal Living Daily. Each episode is just 7–8 minutes long, making it easy to fit into a quiet morning while I prepare my breakfast shake and feed the dogs.

What makes this podcast special is its format: host Justin Malik reads articles written by other experts in personal development, minimalism, wellness, and productivity. You’re not just hearing one person’s perspective, you’re getting a curated mix of voices, sometimes even with opposing viewpoints. It’s thoughtful, well-rounded, and quietly inspiring.

If you’re curious, you can explore the full podcast network at Optimal Living Daily’s website. Whether you’re seeking clarity, motivation, or just a peaceful moment of reflection, this podcast is a beautiful place to begin.
